DOT_PRODUCT
Transformational Intrinsic Function (Generic): Performs dot-product multiplication of numeric or logical vectors (rank-one arrays).
result = DOT_PRODUCT (vector_a,vector_b)
vector_a |
(Input) Must be a rank-one array of numeric (integer, real, or complex) or logical type. |
vector_b |
(Input) Must be a rank-one array of numeric type if vector_a is of numeric type, or of logical type if vector_a is of logical type. It must be the same size as vector_a. |
Results
The result is a scalar whose type depends on the types of vector_a and vector_b.
If vector_a is of type integer or real, the result value is SUM ( vector_a* vector_b).
If vector_a is of type complex, the result value is SUM (CONJG ( vector_a)* vector_b).
If vector_a is of type logical, the result has the value ANY ( vector_a.AND. vector_b).
If either rank-one array has size zero, the result is zero if the array is of numeric type, and false if the array is of logical type.
Example
DOT_PRODUCT ((/1, 2, 3/), (/3, 4, 5/)) has the value 26, calculated as follows:
((1 x 3) + (2 x 4) + (3 x 5)) = 26
DOT_PRODUCT ((/ (1.0, 2.0), (2.0, 3.0) /), (/ (1.0, 1.0), (1.0, 4.0) /)) has the value (17.0, 4.0).
DOT_PRODUCT ((/ .TRUE., .FALSE. /), (/ .FALSE., .TRUE. /)) has the value false.
The following shows another example:
I = DOT_PRODUCT((/1,2,3/), (/4,5,6/)) ! returns the value 32
